10 principal object of the invention toprovide a device of this character permitting regulation for setting teeth ofvarying length and width. Another object of the invention is the provision of an instrument of this character possessing a forceful leverage'and equipped with means for locking theparts in their adjusted positions.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a device of this-type, equipped with an adjustable handle.

Other objects and advantages ofmy in-' vention will become more fully apparent as the description thereof proceeds, and will then specifically be pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing forminga material part of this disclosure:

Figure 1 is a side view of the saw setting device constructed according to the present invention,

Fig. 2 is a top edge view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a detail view in section. on line 3-3 of Fig. l,

Fig. 4: is adotail view in section on line 4---4 of Fig. 'l. and

Fig. 5 is a. detzui \'l0-\\' in section on line 5--5 of Fig. 1.

My device as illustrated in the drawing comprises a stem 10, having a flattened top part 11, rounded side faces and fiattended bottom parts 12 and 13.

The front end of stem is threaded as indicated at 14 for the attachment of a comparatively long hollow handle 15 provided at one end with interior thread to engage thread 14 of the stem.

A sleeve 16 having its inner wall shaped to snugly fit against the outer face of the .0 stem and adapted to slide therein, carries on top a projecting collar 17 provided with inner screw thread for the reception of the threaded end of a nut bolt 18 allow ing a locking of the sleeve 16 on stem 10.

The lower end of sleeve 16 has integrally made therewith a horn to engage with its lower end 20 the side face of a saw, the teeth of which are to be set. The

rear end of stem 10 is bevelled as at 21, and flattened as at 22 and has integrally formed therewith contiguous to bevelled 7 part 21, a cheek or'guide 23.

A=regulating plate 24' providedw'ith a longitudinal slot 25 in its face and a lower jshoulder 26 engages the flattended part 22 and is guided along -'cheek' 23 and can be locked in its adjusted position -by means of a nut 27 011' a bolt 28 secured in part 22, and having a threaded upper end. A washer 29; is interposedtbetween nut 27 and plate 24, while-finger or shoulder 26 glides along the; outer end face of guide 23 and in'the highest position of plate 24:

engages the lower edge of: part 22with its upperedge, thus limiting the up'ward'movementof plate 24;" 4

Upon flattened part 22 'slides'an angular sleeve 30 having a lower cheek 31 adapted to co-operate withcheek 23.

The sleeve 30 can 'be locked in its adjusted position on part 22 of stem-'10 by means of nut bolts 32 and 33 entering ah upper projection '34 of sleeve"30 and engaging the upper edge of 'stein 10.

The extreme outer end" of the flattened part 22 of stem 10 is set off as at 35, and is engaged by the stem 36 of a handle 37 which is set off in a similar manner and locked to set off part 35 by means of a nut 38 on bolt 39 on stem 36.

The shoulders formed by the set off parts 36 of handle and 35 of stem 10, are provided with triangularly shaped notches 40 and $1 to accommodate the end edges of parts 10 and 36 respectively when the handle 37 is locked in inclined position to stem 10 as indicated in Figure 1.

The device operates as follows:

A saw, the teeth of which are to be set, is placed with its side face against guide 23 and plate 2 1 is raised or lowered in proportion with the depth of the teeth and then looked in its position by means of the nut'27.

hen the sleeve 30 by the proper manipulation of nut bolts 32 and 33 is brought into the proper position and locked therein, its cheek 31 will engage the saw teeth with the opposite side of said teeth.

Vhen now the handle 15 is supported on a bench or other support and the handle 3 i properly manipulated, it will be possible to gset thegteeth' at any-desired anglejfi i: J z l t The force exerted on handle 37-1nay be increased by locking the samein inol'ned position to stem 10 illiisizi a ted iii ure 1.
